I thank You Lord for all You've done for me
I praise You Lord for where You've gone for me
You did not take away Your face
Nor take away Your grace from me
Lord You're always there
And I'm always here for You
You stopped over in my life
Now I can pass over without strife
You stayed around even in the rain
Your love surrounds when I'm in pain
When I'm in pain along this way
I thank You Lord for all You've done for me
I praise You Lord for where You've gone for me
You did not take away Your face
Nor take away Your grace from me
Lord You're always there
And I'm always here for You
And I will say:
Thanks /4x
Thank You Jesus, thanks
Thank You Lord, thanks
Thank You Lord for all You've done for me
I learnt this awesome song in March 2009 while at the NYSC orientation camp in Rivers State, Nigeria, as a Youth Corps member. I sang in the NCCF choir and one Chioma, bless her heart, taught us the song. Chioma's voice was so beautiful and anointed. Sadly, I didn't see her again after camp. She wasn't in NCCF anymore, obviously, as we would have kept seeing if she was. Maybe she would have been able to tell me who wrote the song. Probably she had to redeploy to another state.
So, dear visitor to my blog, in case you know the writer(s) of this song, kindly supply me with the name(s) so I can add. I have tried to search for the lyrics all over the internet for years but cannot find any single post not to talk of getting to know the owner(s) of the beautiful song.
